Professional Take-Home Teeth Whitening: A Safe & Effective Option

Professional take-home whitening kits are dentist-prescribed treatments that provide stronger and longer-lasting results than over-the-counter (OTC) products. They involve custom-made trays and high-quality whitening gel, allowing for a safer, more even, and more effective whitening experience in the comfort of your home.

How It Works

Dental Consultation & Shade Assessment: The dentist examines your teeth and gums to ensure you’re a good candidate for whitening. Your current tooth shade is recorded for comparison after treatment.

Custom-Fitted Trays: Moulds of your teeth are taken to create thin, flexible whitening trays that fit perfectly. This ensures even whitening and minimizes gum irritation.

Whitening Gel Application: The dentist provides a professional-grade carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide gel. You’ll be instructed to apply a small amount of gel into the trays and wear them for a specified time (usually overnight or a few hours per day, for 1-2 weeks).

Monitoring & Adjustments: The dentist may schedule a follow-up to check your progress and make adjustments if needed.

Benefits of Professional Take-Home Whitening

Stronger & More Effective – Higher peroxide concentration than OTC products, giving better results.
Custom Fit for Comfort – Prevents gum irritation and ensures even whitening.
Long-Lasting Results – Effects last 6 months to 2 years with proper care.
Safer for Sensitive Teeth – Custom trays reduce gum exposure to whitening agents.
Gradual & Natural Look – Unlike in-office whitening, results develop over time, making changes less obvious.

How to Maximize Results

Avoid staining foods & drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, soda) during & after treatment.
Use sensitivity toothpaste if needed.
Brush & floss daily to maintain your new shade.
Touch up every few months with leftover gel to maintain brightness.
